1. This matter is taken up through Hybrid Arrangement (Virtual /Physical Mode).
2. Heard learned counsel for the Petitioner as well as Mr. Himashu Patnaik, learned counsel for the Opposite Party-Bank. Perused the writ application as well as the prayer made therein.
3. The Petitioner has filed the present writ application with the following prayer:
“It is therefore prayed that this Hon'ble Court may graciously be pleased to admit the writ petition, issue show cause notice to the Opp. Parties and after hearing may direct the Opp. Parties to allow the petitioner to regularize his loan account as by accepting the defaulted EMI with immediate effect for the interest of justice;
AND

AND Further prays to pass any other order/orders, may passed as deemed fit and proper.”
4. It is stated by the learned counsel for the Petitioner, that he has already approached the Authorized Officer of the Opposite Party-Bank by filing a grievance petition dated 06.01.2026 at Annexure-3 to the writ application. However, no final decision has yet been taken on such grievance petition. Challenging such inaction, he has approached this Court by filing the present writ application.
5. Mr. Patnaik, learned counsel for the Opposite Party-Bank, on the other hand, contended that in the event any such grievance petition is pending and no final decision has yet been taken thereon, he will have no objection if this Court directs the Opposite Party No.1 to consider and dispose of such grievance petition in accordance with law within a stipulated period of time.
6. Considering the limited nature of grievance of the Petitioner, the writ application is disposed of at the stage of admission with a direction to the Opposite Party No.1 to consider the grievance petition dated 06.01.2026 of the Petitioner under Annexure-3 within a period of four weeks from the date of production of certified copy of this order. The Opposite Party No.1 shall do well to dispose of the grievance petition of the Petitioner under Annexure-3 by passing a speaking and reasoned order. The decision so taken by the Opposite Party No.1 be also communicated to the Petitioner within ten days thereafter.
7. With the aforesaid observations and directions, the writ application stands disposed of.
